"The Seagod Nine Trials' Fifth Trial: Challenge. Saint Pillar Guardian. Challenge the Sea Lance, Sea Illusion, and Sea Dragon Saint Pillar Guardians one by one. Complete all challenges within twenty-four hours. Passing requires defeating all three Saint Pillar Guardians."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice rang out.
"Mine are Sea Dragon, Sea Horse, and Sea Maiden," Dugu Yan also said.
Twenty-four hours is two days. Everyone almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Defeat three Titled Douluo within two days?"
Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing both nodded. Although they were very confident in their own strength, defeating three Titled Douluo within two days was still quite difficult.
"Your trials are all so high, wouldn't Lingling's be even harder?" Yu Feng gasped.
Shi Quan said, "If there are no surprises, Lingling's Fifth Trial should be to defeat seven Saint Pillar Guardians within a fixed time."
"That's seven Titled Douluo!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
"If you need help, I can assist you," Xiao Bai's voice came.
"Help?" Everyone looked at Xiao Bai in confusion. Zhu Zhuqing was the first to react, "Xiao Bai, are you saying you'll conduct practical training with us, like in the Second Trial?"
Xiao Bai nodded, "It's both similar and different. During the Second Trial, I was restricted by the trial and couldn't attack you freely, but now I can freely control my abilities. Moreover, you probably don't have experience fighting Sea Douluo. As a Sea Soul Beast, I can simulate the abilities of a Sea Spirit Master, which should be of great help to you."
The two women's eyes immediately lit up, and they said joyfully, "That would be wonderful! We thank you in advance."
Xiao Bai said with a smile, "These are just small matters, far from what you've helped me with."
Soon, half a day passed, and Ye Lingling also awoke from her spirit ring absorption. Her spirit power Rank increased from eighty-four to eighty-seven.
When she absorbed her sixth spirit ring before, her spirit power Rank was already close to eighty-five.
This one hundred thousand year spirit ring increased her spirit power by more than two Ranks.
Just as Shi Quan had said, Ye Lingling's Fifth Trial was to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo within three days.
With Ye Lingling's successful spirit ring absorption, everyone didn't linger on the sea surface. Riding on the backs of the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks, they set off back towards the west, facing the setting sun.
Two hours later, deep into the night, everyone returned to Sea God Island.
Xiao Bai led her clan back to her territory, while Shi Quan and the others returned to their residence in Sea Horse City.
After a busy day, it was late, and there was no time for idle chat. So, after returning, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Any discussions would wait until the next day.
Back in the bedroom, with Shi Quan's assistance, Ye Lingling began to absorb the god-bestowed spirit ring.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that Ye Lingling woke up, having successfully absorbed the god-bestowed spirit ring, and her spirit power Rank immediately reached eighty-nine!
The god-bestowed spirit ring's age was not simply one hundred thousand years, but over two hundred thousand years.
The energy accumulated within Ye Lingling's Physical Body reached an astonishing level.
After a quick tidy-up and breakfast, everyone gathered in the living room again.
Shi Quan took out the whale glue, a total of one hundred and eight pieces.
The minimum age for these was five thousand years.
These whale glues were quite beneficial to everyone.
Although whale glue is special, its effect weakens if too much is consumed. Moreover, there are certain requirements for the Physical Body strength of the consumer; if too weak, it will only be unable to absorb the benefits, thus wasting the medicinal power of the whale glue.
However, fortunately, everyone's Physical Body strength had significantly improved during the Third Trial, so this problem was not too concerning.
Based on the number of Evil Spirit Orcas killed by each person in the Fourth Trial and their Physical Body strength, Shi Quan quickly distributed the whale glue to everyone.
Shi Quan looked at Yu Feng, the Shi Family Brothers, and Ma Hongjun.
Their trials were already completed, but they couldn't leave Sea God Island yet.
"Yu Feng, you might have to wait until Lingling completes her Seventh or Eighth Trial before you can leave Sea God Island."
Yu Feng put his arms around the shoulders of the Shi Family Brothers and said, "Those are small problems. Anyway, Cultivating is the same wherever we are. We've been on Sea God Island for so long and haven't properly explored it. Now that the trials are over, we've discussed it and plan to spend this time exploring Sea God Island thoroughly. While Cultivating, we'll also experience the local customs and traditions."
"What about you, Fatty?" Shi Quan looked at Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun was silent for a moment before saying, "I plan to stay in Sea Horse City to Cultivate."
"You're not going out with Yu Feng and the others?"
"They invited me, but after thinking about it, I decided against it," Ma Hongjun shook his head.
Shi Quan looked at Ma Hongjun thoughtfully and said, "Cultivation still requires a balance between work and rest. If you ever feel your Cultivation speed slowing down, then going out for a walk and seeing things will also be beneficial for your Cultivation."
"I understand." Ma Hongjun nodded.
"Then let's head to the coast. Xiao Bai is waiting for you all," Shi Quan said to Ye Lingling and the others.
Everyone split into two groups.
Yu Feng, Shi Mo, and Shi Quan began their journey exploring Sea God Island.
Shi Quan, along with Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, his parents, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and others, arrived at the beach.
As soon as they arrived, Xiao Bai's head emerged from the sea surface, appearing to have been waiting for a while.
"Let's start directly. Who wants to go first?" Xiao Bai's voice came from the sea.
It was just a training session, so there was no need for politeness. Ye Lingling simply and directly walked to the front, initiating the battle with Xiao Bai.
On the other side, Shi Quan's parents also began their battle with the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks.
This was his parents' Fourth Trial. Their combat experience was not strong, and this Fourth Trial not only tested their individual strength but also served as an excellent opportunity for practical training.
The Devil Spirit Great White Sharks they were fighting were around fifty thousand years old, with astonishing strength. Moreover, being in the ocean, both of their strengths were significantly affected. In their first challenge, they were quickly defeated.
However, this didn't matter, as their trial time was a full year. As long as they defeated a fifty thousand year Sea Soul Devil Spirit Great White Shark within this year, it would count as passing. Although difficult, it was not impossible for them.
To facilitate training, for the next period, everyone set up some simple tents and lived directly on the beach.
Ma Hongjun was also among them, and besides meditating and Cultivating, he deeply understood that practical combat was one of the best ways to Cultivate. So, from time to time, he would actively ask Xiao Bai to arrange some of her clan members to fight him, thereby further training his abilities.
In terms of diligence, Ma Hongjun was no weaker than anyone present. The current him was completely different from his original appearance.
